Hard

Hard , Dor- is a preceltic linguistic root meaning “water”.

One owes him of very many Hydronyme S:

  • the Gilds, of Gilded
  • the Doire Baltée or Gilded Baltea
  • the Douro, of Durius
  • the Doron, of Doron-
  • the the Dordogne < Durānius
  • the Dronne,
  • the Dropt,
  • the Drave,
  • the Drac,
  • the Drouette
  • the Droye,
  • the Durance
  • Durenque, tributary of the Agout…

The Welsh dwr “water”, which comes from the Celtic dubro- “water”, is often proposed to them like étymon. But the root hard has older ramifications which exceed the only Celtic field.

The Celtic topic dubro- “water” is on the other hand at the origin of:

  • Dover, of will dubra “water”
  • the Verdouble, Vernoubre… of Uerno-dubron “river of the Aulne
  • the Money-Double , of Arganto-dubron “river silver plated”
